Seminars and company events
Pan Pacific Vancouver can host conferences, product launches, gala dinners and board meetings, from eight people around a table to 800 at a standing reception. The hotel occupies the upper floors of Canada Place on the downtown waterfront, beside the Vancouver Convention Centre.
The capacity chart lists up to 22 function rooms over two levels and 42,000 square feet of meeting space. On the lobby level, the Crystal Pavilion takes 700 people theater style or 500 at round tables, and divides into three sections for parallel sessions. The two Gazebo rooms and a boardroom for eight sit on the same floor. The restaurant and gallery level holds the Cypress, Coal Harbour and Pacific Rim rooms, two boardrooms and the Oceanview suites along the waterfront side.
For delegates attending a congress at the convention center, the hotel works as a base with breakout rooms a short walk away. The events team handles audiovisual needs and room setups for each program.

History and setting
Canada Place, with its white sail-shaped roofs, was built on a pier for Expo 86, and the hotel has occupied it since then. Escalators connect the open atrium to the convention center and the ground level, so attendees move between venues without going outside.
